Mr Warren:

I must state that I’m not one to be easily swayed nor impressed, however your email is demonstrative of a true gentleman and professional. I fully agree with you and was highly impress when you stated:

” I find even my most harsh of my critics a shining light in pointing out different points of view and experiences. In analyzing them I am often further resolved in my original assessment but, I do, on occasion, find a kernel of truth and thus a way to improve my system of instruction and methods ….”

Words like that can only be spoken by a man whom is devoid of ego and a true master of his craft. What truly stunned me by those words is that I was speaking with Charles last night on the phone and was telling him almost word for word the exact same thing.

A master is born by understanding that his may not be the only or best way, and being able to take criticism, and apply newer and or better knowledge is key for growth.

I admired you before this, as your system is amazing, I RESPECT the hell out of you now because you have shown what so many few have been able to show in this business, that being respect, professionalism and humility.

Mr.Warren, I thank you for clearing this up and for what its worth, you have a friend and ally in me and my entire organization.

Respectfully

It seems lately that some of our fellows have gotten the attention of those who would speak with threats more than a candid discussion of methods of training and techniques or strategies to save lives. Recently, one such individual has even mentioned my name without my being made aware and certainly without my permission. J.Salva.

I would like to take the moment to respond and clarify that he does not speak for myself, my company, or my URBAN Military Combatives System. His insults are not spoken on my behalf.

Regardless, I do apologize for his statements. I also would like to clarify that this forum is a free forum where professionals are encouraged to keep each other honest with frank and candid discussions on the field of Street Fighting.

As such an outlet, I find even my most harsh of my critics a shining light in pointing out different points of view and experiences. In analyzing them I am often further resolved in my original assessment but, I do, on occasion, find a kernel of truth and thus a way to improve my system of instruction and methods resulting in more saved lives on the battlefields of the world.

In doing so, I try to ensure that all of the discussion are respectful and polite as possible which I believe lends myself to showing an intellectual approach to the science of conflict resolution.

Speaking from friendship is always the fastest way to learn from another human. I would like to encourage my fellows to also share their thoughts on verbal conflict mediation. I find that often the most effective tool in conflict resolution is first in talking.

Very Respectfully,

Michael Warren
